Thinking about applying for overseas jobs?

18 June 2008

Looking for jobs overseas and doing a working holiday? More and more Australians are opting to see the world by taking overseas jobs. A working holiday is a great way to explore the world. You can earn money while you see the sights. With a working holiday, you get to immerse yourself in the local culture by living just as everyone else does.

Many Australians go for overseas jobs in England, but many other countries offer jobs to Australians as well. Asia, South America and Africa are all fascinating places to visit and work. Many jobs offered in these countries are relief work, so not only do you get to travel to a new country, you have the opportunity to do some good for those in need. Relief work is a great way to learn about other cultures and help out humanity.

Here are some tips if you're planning to look for overseas jobs:

  • Be sure to take out travel insurance.
  • Fully research the laws and customs of the country you're going to.
  • Have the correct visas and work permits.
  • Make copies of your passport.
  • Make sure your vaccinations are up to day.
  • Confirm your medications are legal in the country you're visiting.
  • Manage your money carefully - be sure to confirm the correct amount of tax is taken out of your pay while you're working overseas.
  • Keep in touch with family and friends back in Australia.
